Cool hack lets you control your iPad with a NES gamepad

Did you know you could control an iPad with a good old NES gamepad? That’s what Paul Rickards did, as he explains on his blog Biosrhythm.

According to Rickards, the hack is based on a previous Arduino-powered experiment of his that let him use his homebrew C64 USB keyboard with the iPad. This gave him the idea to test whether he could connect a standard game controller via USB.
